Powercraft impact wrench

[DaveHerns]

Mine has given up ,.Always was a bit reluctant to start but now air goes in , air comes out but it doesn't turn
I've had it apart as far as I can and the blades in the rotor are free
Any ideas ?

i assume the compressor's big enough ? ,it sounds like there isn't enough pressure to get the fins spinning .

take out the rotor and check the part where the air is fed in and where it exhausts from the rotor to make sure a seal hasnt gone, it maybe going straight out of the exhaust

Have you put some oil in the air inlet ? Put some 3 in 1 type machine oil straight in and leave it stood upside down for a while then try it. It recommends 90psi but mine always runs better about 120psi.

Thats usually the symptons of vanes stuck down or rotor not spinning, normally lack of lubrication - recently had one where the spring under one of the vanes "escaped" and jammed the rotor!
